I've run into a bunch of segfaults in Bun whenever I went slightly off the beaten path, probably from the "horrifying" Zig code. A huge test suite + a clean rewrite with a path towards more safety is how I would go about it too, personally. Now whether I would do that rewrite in Zig or Rust, I'm not sure. But I have high hopes it's going to work a lot better, especially since Anthropic uses Bun heavily.

Are LLMs better at writing Rust than Zig? I'd assume so, there's way more Rust open source code than Zig. And if so, that's a very solid reason to switch IMO.

Just setup my team with Cursor. They actually got back to me on an enterprise plan (Claude keeps ignoring me). Cloud Agents have been great for keeping multiple streams going at the same time. Adding in computer use has been great for actually testing out features and showing they work for PRs. Bugbot so far has been the best AI reviewer I've tested. Composer 2.5 is great, though still using Opus for planning.

I can do most of this with Claude Code, but there's definitely a cost in maintaining it for the whole team.

Waymo Premier 1 month ago

Car payment, insurance, parking, gas/electricity? Going to be over $400/mo in almost all cases in any of the cities Waymo is in.

This overall is pretty close to how I've set up my implementation skill. One thing I'm curious about is how well the analogies like "We don't make dinner in a dirty kitchen." work vs something a lot more straightforward. Any input OP?

Not sarcastic at all! This is a novel way to handle something that's been in the back of my mind (managing a lot of agents successfully).

This looks absolutely wonderful. Is it possible to run against Claude remotely (e.g. on a VM?). Or should I ask Claude to add that?

Apple Just Lost Me 4 months ago

My non-techie friends either barely notice Liquid Glass or go "ooo this is nice!". It has annoyed me on occasion, but I barely notice it any more. Much ado about nothing.

While Wisconsin was debating this, they also closed a bunch of DMVs and limited hours for other ones.

The WI constitution enshrines the ability to vote. So you may think it's silly and for 99% of people it may be silly, but if anyone is prevented from voting because there's not a reasonable way for them to get a license, their rights are being infringed.

As a reader without a dog in this fight, I appreciate the comment and having the options. It's pretty common on HN.

This is a really cool design, pretty similar to what I've built for implementation planning. I like how iterative it is and that the whole system lives just in markdown. The verify step is a great idea I hadn't made a command yet, thank you!

This seems like it'd be great for solo projects but starts to fall apart for a team with a lot more PRs and distributed state. Heck, I run almost everything in a worktree, so even there the state is distributed. Maybe moving some of the state/plans/etc to Linear et al solves that though.

Same, I really want to use sprites (for me and my whole team) but every time I try to set up, I run into weird issues. Last time I got in some state where trying to launch Claude froze the whole VM every time.

"Remind me about this" creates a public task in the channel!?!? "Hey everyone! I'm choosing not to respond to this right now but don't want to forget!"

We're migrating off Slack because they jacked our prices by 40% this year. Our team used Google Chat for one week and revolted.

cloc says ours is ~350k LoC and agents are able to implement whole features from well designed requirement docs. But we've been investing in making our code more AI friendly, and things like Devin creating and using DeepWiki helps a lot too.

Damn. I just got an email that they'll be discontinuing the palm payment June 3. I've barely used Fresh and Go, but I use this at self checkout at Whole Foods all the time. Beats finding the code to scan and using Apple Pay.

We're reaching out because you have an active Amazon One account. Amazon One palm authentication services will be discontinued at retail businesses on June 3, 2026. You can continue using Amazon One at participating locations until that date.

Amazon will automatically delete Amazon One user data, including palm data. No action is needed from you.

Same, it's so good for these little things. And once you start adding rules and context for the "how to add the change/feature flags", etc you get that 3 paragraphs down. Now our head of product is able to fire off small changes instead of asking a dev, making them context switch, etc. Devs still review but the loop is so much shorter.

Overall I've been really impressed with Devin. IMO it's the best tool for AI generating features if you know what you're looking for, have patterns to follow, etc. I suspect the context they build about your project helps a ton.

I was literally just working on a system, using Devin to do the review no less, to add a bunch of the rules we have that are outside of linting's capability to tackle the same kind of thing. Tools like Copilot and Qodo have very high noise ratios, but do occasionally catch legit bugs. Devin Review could be a great complement, and hopefully they'll make it so we can add our own rules soon.
